This was a super cute fun read. I enjoyed it. It was definitely not something I typical read however I'm glad I did loved the characters and loved the ending. I really enjoyed the main female character and how she didn't really rely on a man and just wanted to be herself no matter what people thought.

What a cozy and fun book, filled with humor and insightful details. I thoroughly enjoyed the awkward-to-loving transition between a bastard barrister and a scientist wallflower as they both learn to put aside their first impressions (about life, literature and love) and give new experiences and feelings a second chance. The gap in class, upbringing and interests between the two main characters increased the stakes and growth of their romance, and I especially adored the funny and loyal side characters, including his orphanage friends and her maiden aunt. And above all, I loved the through-theme that those who really love you can “see” you as you truly are. As an added bonus, there’s even an adorable dog sidekick!

Thank you, NetGalley, for this free ARC in exchange for my honest review.
